Well, it has been awhile, sorry... wait a minute why do I have to apologize, blogging is not a job responsibility, family chore, friendship requirement or is it? Do I really need to check my Facebook twice a day, three times a day, hourly, is it really necessary? What if I have a life away from my laptop? How often do I need to look over my emails, is it absolutely crucial for me to have a Blackberry which allows me to check my email continually through the day? Is it rude for me not to get back to the 50+ people that email me every day, what if I don't get a response out to them for 3 days, does that mean I don't care or does it say that I am overwhelmed because I am trying to keep connected with 300 other people at the same time.
This staying connected can be a blessing and a curse, I was talking to someone recently who practices a weekly electronic sabbath, no email, no Facebook, no computer, no TV (sports too?), no video games. What a great idea! I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to.
Hey, here's a challenge for you, turn off the computer and go spend some face time with a real person.
God's Blessings!

The electronic free zone was one of my favorite aspects of being in Uganda.
ReplyDeleteOk, I'll turn the computer off and see you face to face in a little while—as well as 16 adorable faces down the hall from you.
